Posted on October 29, 2012 by caroldwyer

Between my recent Cape May trip and this week’s severe weather from Hurricane Sandy, I’m wondering how the places I visited are faring. While I was there, I thought how I’d love to live in Cape May. In that town’s case, it … Continue reading →

Posted on November 13, 2011 by caroldwyer

The weekend of Halloween brought my cousin’s wedding and some early snowfall, which prompted an overnight stay in Toms River, N.J.  It was better to stay over regardless of the weather, since the drive back would have been a couple … Continue reading →
